1 14oz Can of Diced Tomatoes
1 Red Pepper Chopped
1 Sweet Onion Diced
1 Garlic Clove Chopped
2 teaspoons Paprika
1 teaspoon Cumin
4-6 Eggs (depending on how hungry everyone is)
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt to Taste
2-3 Chopped Chili Peppers With or Without Seeds Depending on how much Spice You Like (Optional)
Sprig Fresh Parsley or Mint to Garnish (Optional)
Drop Greek Yogurt (Optional)

1
Add your olive oil to a heated shallow saucepan that has a tight fitting lid. Once the oil is heated through, add your onions and garlic and salt liberally.
2
When your onions are translucent, add your peppers with some more salt. Add about half of your paprika and cumin as well. Fry until the peppers are soft.
3
Add the tomato and the rest of your spices. At this point you can add you chili peppers if you like your shashuka spicy. Taste and adjust your seasoning if necessary. Simmer for about 5 minutes.
4
Gently break your eggs one at a time into your simmering tomatoes. Then cover and poach until the eggs are cooked to your liking. Make sure your heat isn't too high!
5
Remove from the heat, garnish and serve immediately! I love having shakshuka with some fresh pita or really good crusty bread (unless you are going for gluten free). The best part is using your bread to soak up all of the deliciousness in the bottom of the pan.
6
Save any leftover for a fantastic pita sandwich for lunch the next day; or save some to eat over rice, cous cous, or quinoa for dinner!
